I zip over to a fancy hotel for a breakfast buffet every Sat and Sun (because it is China, there is a lot of lunch/dinner food choices, too). Lots of good food and all for only 28 yuan ($4.75). Bacon and eggs, noodles, fruit, chicken skewers...Chinese dishes, a few of which I eat, and breakfast intestinals, if you desire (yes, they would be sausages).
I did my hard walk with Jan before breakfast, and will do again tomorrow. She recently purchased a pedometer to ensure she does 10,000 steps a day and when we returned to the "resort' aka tenement housing) we had done 10,022. Now that is exact! We did my first walk a couple of weeks ago and there were lots of cats and dogs, but today there were no dogs - are they now being served up to the students?
We live in the Yangze River delta, province of Jiangsu.
The loud horking up and spitting is EXTREMELY off-putting and it happens constantly. The Chinese believe that this is a way to rid their bodies of germs.... Here is what the stairwell often looks like in my "resort" hotel. Nice, eh?
I'll end on a positive note, with some wild flowers....Marigolds, zinnias, etc.
